<\/div>\n

Internacional will have an encounter with Melgar in the quarter-finals of the Copa Sudamericana, with the sides having played out a goalless draw last week, making the Brazilians favourites to progress on home soil on Thursday.<\/p>\n

In a matter of fact, given that their striker Alexandre Zurawski was sent off in the 64th minute, Internacional would have been pleased to come away from Peru with a draw.<\/p>\n

The hosts had 20 shots with nine having been on target, and 63% possession across the 90 minutes, with goalkeeper Daniel undoubtedly man of the match having kept a clean sheet despite being bombarded.<\/p>\n

Mano Menezes, who has been head coach of The Red since April, will be hoping for more offensively from his side on Thursday, which should be given in front of a cheerful supporters at Estadio Beira-Rio.<\/p>\n

Internacional are unbeaten there in five matches across all competitions, so they will feel confident of reaching the Copa Sudamericana semi-finals as they aim to win the competition for the second time in the club\u2019s history.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Melgar have already made history with this being their best ever performance in a continental competition.<\/p>\n

This is the first time that they have ever made it to the quarter-finals of either the Copa Sudamericana and Copa Libertadores, having competed in both competitions six times apiece in the past.<\/p>\n

Melgar have recieved huge praise in their home country for their efforts, which have been built on a solid foundation of excellent recruitment and strategy behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

Head coach Pablo Lavallen, who joined the club earlier this year, will be hoping for a big performance from his players as they travel to Porto Alegre.<\/p>\n

Should they perform to the level they did last week, despite being held to a draw, there is ever chance they can pull off a major upset.<\/p>\n

Internacional news<\/h2>\n

Internacional will make do without the services of Alexandre Zurawski through suspension after the forward\u2019s straight red card in last week\u2019s first leg.<\/p>\n

Mano Menezes could look to Braian Romero to replace him in attack, but Rodrigo Moledo and Caio Vidal are unlikely to recover from injury in time to make the squad.<\/p>\n

Melgar news<\/h2>\n

Melgar will take to the pitch without the services of defenders Pedro Ibanez and Leonel Galeano due to injury.<\/p>\n

Head coach Pablo Lavellen is not likely to make any changes from the XI which exceeded expectaions on home soil last week, as they will be looking to cause a major upset on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Prediction and Odds<\/h2>\n

Melgar have had an impressive and record-breaking run in this season\u2019s Copa Sudamericana, but we think it is likely to come to an end in Porto Alegre on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Internacional have more individual quality, and providing they keep their cool with 11 men on the pitch, they should have enough on home soil.<\/p>\n

Odds: 1 <\/strong>1.92 X <\/strong>2.10 2 <\/strong>2.30<\/p>\n
